The Code Book Manager allows you to organize and manage your tagging system effectively within your project. It’s a centralized space to create, upload, edit, or download tag groups and individual tags to maintain consistent terminology across your team’s analysis.
Use the Code Book Manager to structure your tagging process by grouping similar tags and maintaining a clear definition for each. This helps ensure consistent coding practices across collaborators and projects.
You can:
Create and organize tags into groups.
Upload a ready-to-use codebook using a template.
Download your existing tags for offline use or reference.
Edit tag names, descriptions, and groups.
Upload Code Book
To quickly add multiple tags, use the Upload Codebook feature.

Navigate to Code Book Manager.

Click on Upload Codebook.

Drag and drop your file or click Choose File to upload from your computer.

Use the provided Excel template to ensure your format matches the required structure.
📥 Click Download Excel in the modal to get the required format template
Create or Edit Tags
You can manually add new tags or edit directly within the interface.
To add a tag:
Hover over a group and click + Add Tag.

To edit or delete a tag/group:

Choose Edit Group, Add Tag, or Delete Group.
Note: You can only delete an empty tag group.
Download Tags
To export all tags and groups, use the Download button at the top of the Code Book Manager. This downloads your tag structure in Microsoft Word, PDF, CSV and Excel, format for sharing, documentation, or backup purposes.
⚠️ Note: Users can choose to have the tag description or not.
Search Tags
Use the search bar to quickly find tags by name. This is useful for large datasets with many tags.

Each tag displays:
